The Trial

‘The Trial’ is the working title for a new visual art project due for public exhibition in April 2018. It will focus on health and welfare provision in prisons, and access to healthcare after release from prison in Ireland.

McCann will work collaboratively with historian Dr Holly Dunbar (UCD CHOMI), film-maker Mary Caffrey, and participants from the Bridge Project (a community-based organisation providing training and support programmes for high risk violent ex-offenders in the greater Dublin area). In April 2018, the team will produce a visual arts installation for public exhibition in Kilmainham Gaol Museum’sOld Court Room.
